  Hi Sir,

  I had bought a ASP.net book, and the book have attach with a

  “Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine” CD installer, but when I install it pop out the below message:-

  - A strong SA password is request for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to support the same. Refer to readme for more detail. Setup will now exit.

  But I had check the whole book and CD, also cant find any ‘SA password’. Can sir/ anybody teach me how to install the “SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine”, for my final project. Thank you!

  Regards,

  Mike

  Since you are an ASP.NET kinda guy - check out this Site: http://www.aspnet101.com/aspnet101/tutorials.aspx?id=44

  It will give you a fairly simple installation direction.  As always - consult Books Online....
